Five councillors are among the members of the Tottenham Labour Group that voted to support a union representative recently suspended by Haringey Council.

Julie Davies, who has been an elected National Union of Teachers official for more than a decade, was suspended for “gross misconduct”.

The NUT claims the suspension is "unlawful" and an "attack on the unions".

The Tottenham Labour Group's general committee last week passed a motion agreeing to “the core Labour values of trade unionism” and “the right of workers to democratically choose their own representatives".

Labour councillors voting in favour of the motion were Gideon Bull, Emine Ibrahim, Stuart McNamara, John Bevan and Reg Rice.
